Businesses Offering Instant Bank Transfer to Benefit from Enhanced Protection Against Fraudulent Transactions

MONTREAL, June 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nuvei Corporation (“Nuvei” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: NVEI) (TSX: NVEI), tomorrow’s payment platform, announces today the launch of a new risk management model underpinned by cutting-edge machine learning technology for its Instant Bank Transfer product in North America.

A pioneering algorithm has been integrated into a new risk engine for the extremely popular account-to-account payment method. Factors such as account age, transaction value, and balance usage will be analyzed by the engine to determine the risk level that a transaction is fraudulent and augment existing levels of security. There will be no impact on consumer experience or businesses’ existing single integration with Nuvei.

The machine learning model extracts complex patterns to improve the identification of fraudulent activity and reduce false positives where legitimate transactions are declined. Benefits of processing vast amounts of data with no latency in this way include:

Improved customer retention as legitimate consumers are less likely to have their transactions declined

Higher acquisition as the model makes smarter decisions on accepting payments from new customers

Reduced risk and higher confidence when transactions are accepted or rejected

Lower costs as financial penalties associated with fraudulent activity are minimized

By using this decision engine merchants will see improvements as high as 30% in detection of fraudulent transactions, including friendly fraud, from the launch day. Nuvei expects this score to keep improving as the model has been designed to auto-improve its ability to identify bad actors as it processes more data and identifies deeper relationships.

Nuvei Chair and CEO Philip Fayer commented on the announcement: “We’re really excited to bring this new solution to our merchants to help accelerate their business. We continue to invest in our AI and data management. We are constantly innovating our products to develop features that reduce fraud and maximize revenue for our customers through customized solutions that meet their exact needs. This is only the beginning and we can’t wait to announce other game-changing innovations in the near future.”

Nuvei (Nasdaq: NVEI) (TSX: NVEI) is tomorrow’s payment platform. Designed to accelerate customers’ business, Nuvei’s modular, flexible and scalable technology allows leading companies to accept next-gen payments, offer all payout options and benefit from card issuing, banking, risk and fraud management services. Connecting businesses to their customers in more than 200 markets, with local acquiring in 45+ markets, 150 currencies and more than 550 alternative payment methods, including cryptocurrencies, Nuvei provides the technology and insights for customers and partners to succeed locally and globally with one integration.

It's no secret that Warren Buffett is one of the best investors alive, delivering investors returns of 20% compounded annually since becoming chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway in 1965. Numerous factors can explain Buffett's success, and an important one is his love of dividend stocks. Dividend stocks are a great source of returns in the market and, according to Fidelity, have accounted for 40% of the S&P 500's total returns since 1930.

Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) stock plunged 14.5% this week at its lowest point in trading, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. There are multiple factors behind Ford stock's steep fall these days, four of which stand out: macroeconomic concerns, a large recall, a hot-selling electric vehicle (EV) hitting a roadblock, and a sharp dip in sales in Ford's second-largest market. While that pretty much sums up Ford's challenges in the U.S., Europe isn't faring any better.

The cryptocurrency industry was built on swagger, enthusiasm and optimism. All three are in short supply these days, as losses and layoffs mount.
